Mordey-Victoria
of Victoria Works, Lambeth
1886 Both Brush and Victoria dynamos were seen by the I Mech E during a visit to the Anglo-American Brush Electric Light Corporation's works at Lambeth.
1889 (date of Swiss patent) William Morris Mordey, of Victoria Works, patented a new electric generator. This invention had for its purpose the construction of an alternating current machine having only one single winding in its armature, instead of a large number of such windings. In this way it would be possible to construct alternating current machines for any speed and any type of alternation, in which there is only one simple ring armature winding and one simple ring field magnet winding. By the application of these means alternating current machines are considerably simplified in construction, while at the same time greater power development is achieved and the difficulty of insulation in such machines is considerably reduced.
